Dublin / Re: Old IRA Dublin Brigade
« on: Friday 21 January 11 17:27 GMT (UK) »
hi i was interested in finding out some information on the dublin no1 brigade 196 pearse street - i saw the list from sandlotball of 46 men and i was very intersted to see that there was two people -
dick hyland and john hyland - i think the second one john hyland was my grandfather - it has only now
come to light that we discovered that my grandfather joined the irish army in 1919 - we have received some documentation about him but on his record it showed that when he joined in 1919 he had been
in the army for 3 years (we think that may have been the time from the 1916 uprising in dublin) we have seen his army record and pay details - nobody ever knew he was in the irish army - my father never knew anything about this .
